By September of 2001, NYTD had developed and was operating two websites: NYTies.com
and Boston.com. The websites included Internet access to the complete contents of the New York
Times and Boston Globe newspapers, regularly updated breaking news, and a variety of enhanced
interactive features. NYTD was also responsible for managing the Company’s Digital Archive
Distribution business, which provided content for research news retrieval services, such as Dow Jones
and Lexis Nexis.
